I have a situation where I want certain documents to appear at the top of the hit list for certain searches, regardless of their score. One can think of it as the ads right on top of Google's search results (but I'm not dealing with ads).
You could make anything with an isSpecial boolean field appear first: search_field:java; score desc, special desc The "special" field could even be an int field so you could control the order that the special docs appeared. You could also do something with boosting: +(search_terms:java) special:true^100 If you have special search terms you want to associate with a doc, you can have another field for that and boost it highly... that would give you a measure of relevancy among "special" documents: normal_search_field:java special_search_field:java^100
Is this a good candidate for a custom RequestHandler?
Hopefully all the tools are already there to do this w/o extra code. -Yonik
